From someone at smogconquote:Games will now end on a dice roll of a 5+ on turn 5. Ending automatically on turn 7. Also rumour is that old witch is partisan

albany academy posted:From someone at smogcon I saw that but it's loving weird, particularly how the individual items require different types of models to score. I could see the turns thing just to make games a bit faster, but overall it's just a little too off for me to automatically accept it. Could just as easily be a troll. OW2 having partisan would be great, even though I personally don't play Khador.

That hollowman looks really cool. I think I might really like the design of the new faction if they all look like that.

albany academy posted:From someone at smogcon So another hurdle to make scenario strangulation that much harder? I guess it helps against control casters, but otherwise it just seems to keep people in the game long enough to kill your caster. I do like the idea of giving a purpose to units, but again we'll see how everything end up working out.

That particular model would be akin to the Kilt lifter or the Druid Gone Wilder. Funny alternative models but not the actual thing. Instead we get a mush mash of Nightmare Before Christmas and Children of the Corn.

Unless they make assassination a tiebreaker, assassination will be even less prevalent. Imagine CP tiebreakers with some matches being like 10 cp

evenworse username posted:Redeemer(s) with Feora3 - funny idea that isn't worth actually doing or workable concept? I mean, that's pretty good, but under sev 1 you can jack marshal a redeemer onto a reclaimer and it's pow 17 while aiming. Throw in aiyana and holt with an attendant priest, 2 vassals, and a deliverer arms master, then you have a Rof3 Rat4 arcing fire POW19 with two focus! All for only 34 points!!

albany academy posted:From someone at smogcon That could be a bitch under clock. Forcing a game to go until the end of turn 5 or 6 or maybe even 7 means 10 minutes or less per turn, and it sounds like you won't know until that point if you've hosed yourself on time.

Yeah, on the PP boards thread they are even talking about CP as a tiebreaker, which seems to me to emphasize assassination. EDIT: Important correction on what was originally supported: game has a chance to randomly end after ROUND 5, not turn. Khisanth Magus fucked around with this message at 18:10 on Feb 17, 2017 |

I don't like random round endings. That spoiled a ton of 40k games for me. I get the idea of forcing people to score points before the game ends but there will have to be much more relevant scenarios in the packet for that to even approach a realistic outcome.

I still say that even if it did turn out to be correct, having different types of models being only able to dominate zones of certain shapes is still such goofy-rear end poo poo that I can be forgiven for wondering if it was bullshit. I mean, I get it promotes having mixed arms (where mixed arms means troopers versus warthingies) but it's still goofy-rear end poo poo.

How often is a game not meaningfully decided by the end of 5 anyway? Pretty rarely in all the events I've ever run.

Honestly, this makes more sense with Timed Turns instead of Deathclock. You don't need to worry about random time reductions or anything, since the games goes to Round 7 at worst. And honestly, getting rid of Deathclocks helps solve a bunch of stupid clock etiquette stuff that in theory exists.

Do you think we'll see things like scoring more points of an objective for having more models/more points of models in it, or will it just be more objectives on the table?
